Today, New York City/Los Angeles-based alternative singer-songwriter Alexa Dark shares "Alibi"–a glamorous, reckless ode to romanticizing all parts of life, even the forbidden or toxic. The track unfolds like a shimmering 1960s Hollywood film–one that blurs the lines of fantasy and reality and throws Dark into the spotlight.
"Alibi" is a sultry tune that succumbs to boldly, unabashedly following love and lust, even against one's better judgement. Written with songwriter Simon Oscroft (The Aces, UPSAHL) and mastered by Brian Lucey (Arctic Monkeys, Mac Miller), Dark shares the track, "came together in a day in LA. It's inspired by the seductive pull of the forbidden and my habit of over-romanticizing situations and people–even bad ideas and toxic lovers. It’s an ode to that, a fantasy come to life." It comfortably fits into the enigmatic, mystical sonic universe Dark has built, and neatly prepares a foundation for what may come from the artist.
Raised between Barcelona, London, and NYC, Dark began writing songs and poetry from an early age influenced by an eclectic range of artists from Portishead to Françoise Hardy to Nancy Sinatra. In March 2023, Dark shared her aptly titled haunting debut seven song EP Dark, Vol. I, mastered by Grammy-award winner Emily Lazar (Beck, HAIM), and Grammy-nominated Joe Lambert (Sharon Van Etten, Angel Olsen). The release garnered support from SPIN Magazine, EARMILK and more. Now, Dark returns with a more refined sound, gearing up to cement Dark as a rising alt-pop artist to watch.
Alexa Dark allows herself to romanticize even the riskiest love interest with the smoldering track "Alibi" out now. Dark is just getting started–stay up-to-date with much more in store via Instagram, Facebook and YouTube.
